Buttercream Frosting

or 9-inch cake layers.
Does anyone have any ideas for varying the flavor of this frosting? One of my cookbooks suggested omitting the vanilla and substituting orange or lemon juice for the milk and adding 2 teaspoons of grated orange peel or 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel. I tried both orange and lemon and what happens is that the water from the orange or lemon juice leaks out of the frosting and puddles on the cake plate, making the cake soggy at the bottom.
